FOX News continues to hemorrhage viewers following the company’s decision to fire their top cable news host Tucker Carlson.
Tucker was averaging 3.2 million viewers a night in his primetime slot.
On Tuesday after his firing, FOX News had only 1.7 million viewers at 8 PM.
Since then FOX News has lost two-thirds of their viewers in the coveted 8 PM timeslot.Their numbers have absolutely FLATLINED since firing their top-rated host.
On Thursday FOX News at Night, the show that replaced Tucker Carlson, had 1.394 viewers.

Scroom. I’m not going to reward them with my viewership. I’m already going to vote for Trump in the primary, so I don’t need the sales pitch anyway.

It's a start.
Look, when people get punished for being stupid, but then wise up, use their services again. The ones we should stay away from are the ones who are stuck on stupid.

Not to worry we still have Hannity. Of course I haven't watched him in years but pretty sure we're I to tune in he'd still be barking the same talking points.

Yup, like #10 said, our household too and most of our MAGA friends all watch RSBN for any live Trump events. Excellent camera work and quality. The young anchors and gals openly honor God and are so good to showcase all the wonderful Americans at every state’s Trump rallies. They do LIVE coverage all day and it is a real treat. This morning Mike Lindell was there talking to everyone.

Fox News will not recover. After so many insults to their base, firing Tucker was the final straw.

Fox Light Corp is frantically flailing its arms wondering what to do, when obviously they need to attempt to bring Carlson back.

I wonder if Fox management and their sponsors are still living in denial or do they realize their mistake? That's a HUGE drop in viewers at a time when pre-election coverage would have made them a fortune.

Fox put themselves on ''death watch'' and didn't name their medical professional. I had no idea Fox was suicidal.

Marketing 101: When you alienate your consumer (viewers) the product can expect 15 years of loss in consumer confidence until those original consumers return. By 2038 they may lose the moniker, Foxweiser.

Not THEIR top cable news host; THE top cable news host. Firing him for no identifieable business reason was not a rational act.
Suppose your company's top salesman was also the top salesman in your entire industry, selling more than any salesman anywhere. Also suppose your company's CEO fired him for no reason. A responsible Board of Directors would step in, rehire him, and fire the CEO. But clearly Fox is not a real business. It is just a toy for the Murdoch family to play with.

As usual, follow the money. Fox is another great example of corporate suicide. Anheuser Busch's ill-conceived tranny marketing strategy is another. Unforced errors from the get-go.
Rupert made his bed, now he must sleep in it. Suddenly trying to make nice with the remaining Fox viewers by airing President Trump's Iowa rally may not be enough to prevent Fox from becoming another "B" channel.

Oh, so now they decide to air a Trump rally. They haven't aired any of Trump's rallies up to now. So, ratings do matter to them. I guess the revenue from selling advertising airtime has dropped just like the ratings.

Even if there are those who watch the rally on Fox, I'm pretty sure it would be a "once and done" thing. Those viewers wouldn't likely keep returning for other Fox programs. It's a pretty safe bet that those who watched CNN for President Trump's townhall won't become regular CNN viewers.
